Ebay, that was the most expensive thing I bought. One set was 158.00 I think. Like I said ebay and craigslist is your friend. FT

I wish I had taken a few more pics during the build. If I had to do it again I wouldn't have changed a thing. I'll try to post specs soon or at least total weight. FT

I am steeling your Idea...

Looks great!

can I get some suspension and wheel specs....? I don't know anyone with a MC trailer to look at.

Think that I will look online too...

thanks, and great job again! Glad it pulls well!

Spent a lot of time on this site. http://pbmotorcycletrailer.com/how-t...cycle-trailer/ Used a lot of specs from various builds on here. I was able to score the torsion axles for a good price but if I couldn't I would have cut down a harbor freight trailer and mounted the truck box from there.
